MUSIC AND DRAMA.
THE DALYS.


Tonight the Days will appear at Portland
Theatre in their new play of upside Down."
Gan the scenes of the piece are on the estate
of an eccentric inventor, who has mortgaged
all his properly and is almost penniless
through patenting inventions which are fail
ures. His place of residence is full of his
original contrivances, and doors, windows,
balconies, trellises and innumerabie ma
chimes on his place work in tine most surpris-
ing manner, and yet you see, with some de-
gree Of reasonableness, as they were made
that way by the inventor The pet project
of the inventor is the marriage of his daugh-
ter and niece to the son and nephew of his
old college chum, wealthy and retired mer-
chant. As the young couples had never seen
each other, they naturally object to this mat
rimonial arrangement, and the young men
run away from home and join circus. where,
being athletes, they succeed very well. The
show, however, fails and disbands near the
inventors home, and the young men make
their way to the farm of the inventor, and
there meet the young ladies. The inventor
is In despair, as he hoped to use the ground
rent which the Snowman was to pay him, for
the purpose of paying the instaliment of his
new patent; The young men come to the
rescue, and agree to give circus perform
ance, with the assistance of the inventor
